Overview
- Starting from pole, Lando Norris led every lap to win by about 30 seconds over Charles Leclerc, with Max Verstappen third, as a Virtual Safety Car for Carlos Sainz's stopped Williams curtailed late attacks.
- The standings flipped to Norris 357 points and Oscar Piastri 356, with Verstappen on 321, leaving a three-way contest into the final four rounds.
- Piastri climbed from seventh to fifth after a late two-stop push but fell just short of passing Oliver Bearman, who delivered a career-best fourth for Haas.
- Lewis Hamilton was handed a 10‑second penalty for leaving the track and gaining an advantage during an early fight with Verstappen, finishing eighth after serving it at his stop.
- Norris was booed by sections of the crowd during his post‑race interview and on the podium, a reaction he shrugged off in comments afterward.
